* Madame Morrible from ''{{Wicked}}''. Both the musical and the book.

!!Examples

* Agatha Trunchbull in ''{{Matilda}}'' isn't just a SadistTeacher, it becomes obvious at the end that [[spoiler:she probably either herself murdered Miss Honey's father/her brother-in-law or at least had him assassinated.]]

----
<<|{{Schoolteachers}}|>>

* ''DoctorWho'' - "School Reunion", half the faculty (including a few dinner ladies)

** ''Order of the Phoenix'' - Umbridge, former trope namer for TyrantTakesTheHelm.

** ''Prisoner of Azkaban'' - none [[spoiler: [[BadassTeacher Lupin]] certainly wasn't evil...well maybe for [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent one night]] every few months if he didn't get his [[strike: meds]] wolfsbane potion...]]

* ''The Teacher From The Black Lagoon'' and its many, many sequels would qualify as the best example if The XFiles hadn't taken that honor. "This is a boy. [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe This is half a boy]]. Now you've learned fractions."

* ''Persona 4'' has Mr. Morooka, a.k.a "King Moron", a rather snobbish (and hideous) man with a grudge against women as well as the main character. He treats his students rudely (putting the main character on his "Shit List" within minutes of meeting him), and has a tendency to get drunk on school fieldtrips. [[spoiler:He [[AssholeVictim ends up murdered about half-way through the game]].

** ''Deathly Hallows'' - [[spoiler: The Carrows, who were installed by Voldemort and aren't so much teachers as anti-Muggle propagandists. They're less subtle in their prejudice than Umbridge, and even more sadistic.]]

* ''The Teacher From The Black Lagoon'' and its many, many sequels would qualify as a MostTriumphantExample if The XFiles hadn't taken that honor. "This is a boy. [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe This is half a boy]]. Now you've learned fractions."

* Denzel Q. Crocker from ''TheFairlyOddparents'', pictured above, slides from a simple pathetic SadistTeacher to truly evil depending on the episode. Compare the SympatheticPOV Crocker in "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker!" to the maniacal dictator he becomes in the MadeForTVMovie episode ''Abra-Catastrophe!''.

* As does The German ''HarryPotter/NeverendingStory/LordOfTheRings'' knock-off ''The Laura Cycle''

[[AC:{{Real Life}}]]
* Happens more then we'd like , some times even [[UptoEleven Evil principals]] which is a real pain in the ass when you get on there bad side because the assholes keep going after you and you actually try to get him to do somthing.

** ''Order of the Phoenix'' - [[spoiler: Dolores Umbridge]]

* ''HarryPotter'' given that it's set in a WizardingSchool this isn't suprising. Most of the books had one, usually the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. [[spoiler:Snape is presented as an Evil Teacher but proves not to be.]]

** ''Deathly Hallows'' - [[spoiler: the Carrows, who were installed by Voldemort and aren't so much teachers as anti-Muggle propagandists. They're less subtle in their prejudice than Umbridge, and even more sadistic.]]

* ''HarryPotter'' given that it's set in a WizardingSchool this isn't suprising. Most of the books had one, usually the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

** ''Order of the Phoenix'' - [[spoiler:TheUmbridge (but she doesn't work for Voldemort)]]
** ''Half Blood Prince'' - [[spoiler:Snape kills Dumbledore...]]
** ''Deathly Hallows'' - [[spoiler:...only 'cause Dumbledore told him to. Some teachers who are posted at Hogwarts by Voldemort qualify but we don't see much of them. At this stage, Umbridge ''does'' work for Voldemort. It's not exactly clear when she started.]]
*** It's implied Umbridge may not even know she's working for Voldemort. [[CompleteMonster Doesn't make her any better, though.]]
*** It's made incredibly clear upon meeting Neville again that Amycus and Alecto Carrow were possibly worse than Umbridge. They instilled prejudiced and hateful views against non-Purebloods and Muggles, and subjected those who misbehaved to torture, including [[KickTheDog first years]].
** It can at least be mentioned that throughout the entire series Harry was convinced that [[spoiler:Snape]] was a bad guy. Understandably with reason.
